Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 522,750,125, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 522,750,125 | |
| -1 | -522,750,125 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 522,750,125.
Example:
1 x 522,750,125 = 522,750,125
and
-1 x -522,750,125 = 522,750,125
Notice both answers equal 522,750,125
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 522,750,125 and divide it by 2:
522,750,125 ÷ 2 = 261,375,062.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 261,375,062.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 522,750,125 | |
| -1 | -522,750,125 |
Now, we try dividing 522,750,125 by 3:
522,750,125 ÷ 3 = 174,250,041.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 174,250,041.6667 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 522,750,125 | |
| -1 | -522,750,125 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
522,750,125 ÷ 4 = 130,687,531.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 130,687,531.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 522,750,125 | |
| -1 | 522,750,125 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 25 | 125 | 739 | 3,695 | 5,659 | 18,475 | 28,295 | 92,375 | 141,475 | 707,375 | 4,182,001 | 20,910,005 | 104,550,025 | 522,750,125 |
| -1 | -5 | -25 | -125 | -739 | -3,695 | -5,659 | -18,475 | -28,295 | -92,375 | -141,475 | -707,375 | -4,182,001 | -20,910,005 | -104,550,025 | -522,750,125 |
